Tiger Street Football Singapore: The internationals on show at the Bay
This weekend marks the sixth installment of this year’s Tiger Street Football tournament and the Singaporean leg will be no different from the one’s before in Cambodia, Australia, Malaysia, Mongolia and China.
Local teams will battle it out in the one-of-a-kind Tiger Cage to earn the right of being called the Tiger Street Football Champions.
On the second day of the event, international teams will join the fray and stake their claim for the big prize and priceless bragging rights.
Teams from Germany, Italy, Vietnam and Malaysia have been given the invites for the Singapore leg this weekend at Event Plaza at Marina Bay Sands and they are nothing short of raring to go in top gear.

Italy - Football.it
Footwork - used to describe clever groundwork and their skillful feet - are exactly what they claim to be. Speed, technique, intelligence, creativity and intensity are the team’s main traits. Formed in 2007, the legendary and respected freestyle crew comprises of freestyle champions, panna heroes and street champions. They might be young but don’t let their age fool you. With no fear and an everlasting hunger for more victories, ‘go big or go home’ is
their mantra.
